    Waterfowl Collection at Slimbridge 1955-56

    Annual Report 1954-56 35 WATERFOWL COLLECTION AT SLIMBRIDGE 1955-56 THE BREEDING SEASON 1955 By S. T. Johnstone T h e feature of the breeding season was the striking effect of cold weather on the well-being of the young birds. Frost in February and March may well have reduced considerably the hatchability of the Ne-Ne eggs, all 31 of which were laid during a period when the cold was so extreme that some African Black Duck eggs were split open before they could be collected. The very wet April and May caused flooding of nests and indeed several sitting boxes suffered in this way. This latter occurrence may have had a bearing on the unfortunate rise in the incidence of Aspergillosis. Pathogenic mould was found in a number of fertile eggs that failed to hatch and a relatively large number of goslings succumbed to mycosis. In 1956 the use of sawdust for nest making in the sitting boxes has been discontinued in favour of peat moss impregnated with a fungicide. The two pumping systems installed in the spring of 1954 have enabled us to provide relatively fast-flowing water through the rearing pens. By this means we have get rid of the concentration of water fleas (.Daphnia pulex). This had been the host of Acuaria uncinata, a worm inhabiting the proventriculus and causing wasting and subsequent death. We are pleased to report that not a single case of Acuaria was recorded in 1955. It was a great relief to those concerned with the rearing when cold and wet ceased and the long warm sunny days of June and July appeared as a panacea to all ills save the losses from predators.

    pi)' NESTING BIOLOGY. SOCIAL PATTERNS AND DISPLAYS OF THE MANDARIN DUCK, A_IX GALERICULATA Richard L. Bruggers A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 1974 ' __ U J 591913 W A'W .'X55’ ABSTRACT A study of pinioned, free-ranging Mandarin ducks (Aix galericulata) was conducted from 1971-1974 at a 25-acre estate. The purposes 'were to 1) document breeding biology and behaviors, nesting phenology, and time budgets; 2) describe displays associated with copulatory behavior, pair-formation and maintenance, and social encounters; and 3) determine the female's role in male social display and pair formation. The intensive observations (in excess of 400 h) included several full-day and all-night periods. Display patterns were recorded (partially with movies) arid analyzed. The female's role in social display was examined through a series of male and female introductions into yearling and adult male "display parties." Mandarins formed strong seasonal pair bonds, which re-formed in successive years if both individuals lived. Clutches averaged 9.5 eggs and were begun by yearling females earlier and with less fertility (78%) than adult females (90%). Incubation averaged 28-30 days. Duckling development was rapid and sexual dimorphism evident. 9 Adults and yearlings of both sexes could be separated on the basis of primary feather length; females, on secondary feather pigmentation. Mandarin daily activity patterns consisted of repetitious feeding, preening, and loafing, but the duration and patterns of each activity varied with the social periods.

(2014) and the new classification of Stiles et al. (2017). Here we propose a new linear sequence using the revised names, based on these sources and an additional recent paper (Hernández- Baños et al. 2020). Stiles et al. (2017) split the tree from McGuire et al. (2014) into four parts for convenience; these trees were used in Proposal 2020-A-2 and are reproduced below. In the original phylogeny in McGuire et al. (2014), these trees are connected as follows: A and B are sister groups (although with little support), C and D are sister groups, and A+B and C+D are sister groups.

This brings the total number of species on the Lolldaiga Hills Ranch Bird List to 383. Adult female (left) and adult male (right) knob-billed ducks Sarkidiornis melanotos at Dam Baharini, northern Lolldaiga Hills Ranch. Photograph by Yvonne de Jong. The knob-billed duck (or comb duck) has a wide distribution in Africa and Asia. This relatively large and distinctive duck prefers dams and pans surrounded by woodland. The male maintain a territory during the breeding season (wet season). The female nests close to water in tree cavities, abandoned bird nests (including those of hamerkop Scopus umbretta), walls of buildings, or on tree stumps. Knob-billed ducks feed on vegetable matter, aquatic insect larvae, and locusts. The knob-billed duck is an intra-African migrant. Seasonal movements are related to water availability, but remain poorly-understood.
